Image Carabelli.jpg thumb Diagram indicating cusp of Carabelli The cusp of Carabelli , or Carabelli s tubercle , or tuberculum anomale of Georg Carabelli is a small additional cuspdentistrycusp at the Commonly used terms of relationship and comparison in dentistry mesiopalatal line angle of maxillary first molar s. This extra cusp is usually found on the first molar, and becomes progressively less likely in the second, third molars. This cusp is entirely absent in some individuals and present in others in a variety of forms. In some cases, Carabelli s cusp may rival the main cusps in size. Other related forms include ridges, pits, or furrows. This additional cusp was first described in 1842 by the Hungarian Georg Carabelli Carabelli Gy rgy , the court dentist of the Austrian Empire Austrian Emperor Franz. The cusp of Carabelli is a heritable feature. Kraus 1951 proposed that Zygosity homozygosity of a gene is responsible for a pronounced tubercle, whereas the Zygosity heterozygote shows slight grooves, pits, tubercles or bulge. Later studies showed that the development of this trait is affected by multiple genes. Carabelli s cusp is most common among Europeans 75 85 of individuals and rarest in Pacific Islands 35 45 . This cusp may also be found in dogs and cats. Further reading Simon Hillson. 1996. Dental Anthropology . Cambridge University Press.

Unreferenced date December 2007 In astrology , a cusp from the Latin for spear or point is the imaginary line that separates a pair of consecutive Astrological sign sign s in the zodiac or House astrology house s in the horoscope . Because the solar disc has a diameter of approximately half a degree, it is possible for the Sun to straddle the cusp as it moves across the sky. When this occurs at the moment of birth such a person is said to be born on the cusp and some believe that their life is influenced by the characteristics of both signs. For example, if an individual was born when the Sun by convention the point at the centre of the Solar disc was located at 29 degrees, 50 minutes Gemini astrology Gemini , then one might say that he was born on the cusp of Gemini and Cancer astrology Cancer . Much of the Solar disc was actually in Cancer even though the centre was in Gemini. Although the term cusp is universally used for the boundaries of signs, not all astrologers agree that an object can ever be included in more than one sign. Many consider relevant only the location of the Sun s centre, which must be entirely in one sign, and would describe the natal Sun in the example as simply being in Gemini. If late degrees of Gemini have a Cancer like character, they would describe that as simply the nature of that part of Gemini rather than some influence spilling over from the next sign. On the other hand, astrologers who consider objects on the cusp to be meaningfully different from objects entirely in one sign may apply such a description even when no part of the object crosses the boundary. That point of view may consider the Sun to be on the cusp even when its centre is as much ... a degree in diameter on the cusp despite no part of the object being in the adjacent sign. Their claim is that the influence of the cusp gets weaker but does not suddenly disappear as the object gets further from the cusp. A similar debate applies to cusps between houses.

Context date October 2008 Unreferenced date October 2008 In mathematics , a cusp neighborhood is defined as a set of points near a cusp singularity cusp . Cusp neighborhood for a Riemann surface The cusp neighborhood for a hyperbolic Riemann surface can be defined in terms of its Fuchsian model . Suppose that the Fuchsian group G contains a parabolic element g. For example, the element t SL 2, Z where math t z begin pmatrix 1 & 1 0 & 1 end pmatrix z frac 1 cdot z 1 0 cdot z 1 z 1 math is a parabolic element. Note that all parabolic elements of SL 2, C are conjugacy class conjugate to this element. That is, if g SL 2, Z is parabolic, then math g h 1 th math for some h SL 2, Z . The set math U z in mathbf H Im z 1 math where H is the upper half plane has math gamma U cap U emptyset math for any math gamma in G langle g rangle math where math langle g rangle math is understood to mean the group mathematics group generated by g . That is, acts properly discontinuously on U . Because of this, it can be seen that the projection of U onto H G is thus math E U langle g rangle math . Here, E is called the neighborhood of the cusp corresponding to g . Note that the hyperbolic area of E is exactly 1, when computed using the canonical Poincar metric . This is most easily seen by example consider the intersection of U defined above with the fundamental domain math left z in H left z right 1, , left , mbox Re z , right frac 1 2 right math of the modular group , as would be appropriate for the choice of T as the parabolic element.

In number theory , a branch of mathematics , a cusp form is a particular kind of modular form , distinguished in the case of modular forms for the modular group by the vanishing in the Fourier series expansion see q expansion q expansion math Sigma a n q n math of the constant coefficient a sub 0 sub . This Fourier expansion exists as a consequence of the presence in the modular group s action on the upper half plane of the transformation math z mapsto z 1. math For other groups, there may be some translation through several units, in which case the Fourier expansion is in terms of a different parameter. In all cases, though, the limit as q &rarr 0 is the limit in the upper half plane as the imaginary part of z &rarr &infin . Taking the quotient by the modular group, say, this limit corresponds to a cusp of a modular curve in the sense of a point added for compactification mathematics compactification . So, the definition amounts to saying that a cusp form is a modular form that vanishes at a cusp. In the case of other groups, there may be several cusps, and the definition becomes a modular form vanishing at all cusps. This may involve several expansions. The dimensions of spaces of cusp forms are in principle computable, via the Riemann Roch theorem . For example, the famous Ramanujan function &tau n arises as the sequence of Fourier coefficients of the cusp form of weight 12 for the modular group, with a sub 1 sub 1. The space of such forms has dimension 1, which means this definition is possible and that accounts for the action of Hecke operator s on the space being by scalar multiplication Mordell s proof of Ramanujan s identities . Explicitly it is the modular discriminant &Delta z , q , which represents up to a normalizing constant the discriminant of the cubic on the right side of the Weierstrass equation of an elliptic curve and the 24 th power of the Dedekind ... function , with the normalization &tau 1 1.

Geriatric dentistry or gerodontics is the delivery of dentistry dental care to older adults involving the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of problems associated with normal aging and age related diseases as part of an interdisciplinary team with other health care professionals. Overview Last century has witnessed a number of remarkable demographic changes related to health, diseases, longevity and mortality of the population all over the world. By now one third of the world s elderly population is living in the developing countries and one out of twelve persons in the developing countries is over sixty five. The twentieth century witnessed remarkable population ageing with regard to human longevity worldwide, and the twenty first century is set to carry forward the gains in longevity further, both in the developing and the developed world. This rise in life expectancy is attributed primarily to the substantial reduction in mortality at different stages of life, which has been brought about by improved health care facilities, sanitation, environmental and public health reforms coupled with better hygiene and living conditions. As a result of the increasing life expectancy, the proportion of the elderly in the total population is projected to be around 20 in India and 32 in the developed nations by 2050. Keeping this increased life expectancy in mind, the age of retirement in many sectors in India is increasing and in some it has even gone up to 70 years. In some states, the retirement ...
